Got the cast off today! I guess i wasnt expecting it to swell so quick! does anyone have any tips to help or how long it lasted before it started to look more normal? my septum was very deviated to the right so they did alot moving it back to the left so that side is very swollen at the bridge the tip looks pretty normal!

Hi! I had my surgery (rynoplasty) on 12/12/12. Im also very excited to see what my nose is going to look like with out the hump. the only bad experience has been the fact that i can't breath threw my nose. I'm so conjustested; I hope it goes away soon. Any suggestion on how to help with the stuffiness?

they gave me afrin and it helps some but i think its just a process! I did discover that holding ice to the bottom of my nose where my nostrils are kinda takes ur mind off the breathing and relieves some discomfort! I think the breathing better will come with time. im hoping its better once the splint comes off! do u get ur of tomorrow??

Lookin good so far! I have a question about the bottom part of ur nose, like at the nostrils. It looks so dark... Is that tape that's under your cast thats lifting your tip?

yes its tape and honestly i think its not blood from stitches i think its from where my nose bled and leaked onto the tape!
